“Taylor was great to work with. He is kind, attentive to the dog's individual needs (including complicated medication schedules), and wonderful with communication. I highly recommend him!”
“Taylor was amazing! Our dog was happy and healthy and our house was spotless when we got home. We have a high anxiety dog and we were without phone service but felt very comfortable leaving Tito in Taylor’s care. He went above and beyond and sent many photos for when we were back with reception. Would rebook!”
“Excellent pet sitter! Was so sweet with my baby puppy and kept him entertained and active. Sent me lots of updates and pictures. I was so relaxed knowing my little man was in good hands.”
“Chelsea did 4 nights of overnight sitting in our home with our Goldendoodle Chance. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet prior to the overnight booking. This allowed Chance to know who she was when she arrived on the first evening after work. She updated with pictures each day and a short description of any news from the day. Definitely recommend and will book again!”
“Savannah has watched my dog in my house multiple times now, and each time is absolutely perfect! It’s so nice being able to be gone for a week and know that my dog and my house are being well taken care of.”
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
“Katy is amazing! I felt so great about being away from our anxious pup knowing that Katy was staying with her! Katy is kind, organized, clean and just went above and beyond to care for our dog and home! I will absolutely be rebooking with Katy when I can!”
“Javier was great with my 2 big dogs and cat. While the cat box didn’t get cleaned, everyone was happy when I got home, which is all a pet mama can ask! He left the house in great shape as well, even stripping the bed he slept in. I’d absolutely rehire Javier; he’s a wonderful soul that animals respond to. They’re in good hands with him.”
“Maria did an incredible job with our somewhat tricky older cat! I would 100% recommend Maria. She’s fantastic!! Bonus - our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left!! She’s the best.”
“Carol is been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s incredibly conscientious, responsible, responsive, a we felt that she really cared for our pups while she was away. When we got home, everything was in great order. She’ll be the first person I check with when planning future trips where we need care for our home and dogs!!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether it’s a bouncy pup who needs play or a senior dog who deserves patience and a softer pace. I just want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am available full time and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs, giving them consistent attention, playtime, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. In my care, they get a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine.” In client homes, I respect your space and follow your dog’s normal routine, making sure they have fresh water, a comfy place to rest, and, of course, lots of love and supervision
“Makia was amazing! She asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet and Chewie immediately warmed up to her. During the house sitting she sent us daily pic/vid updates and communicated clearly. We came home to a clean house and a very happy pup. I would use Makia again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her.”
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Colorado. In the new year, I will be back in Virginia and then onto New Mexico. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. I have a son who lives in Boulder, CO and a daughter who live in Lafayette, CO. My son has a new puppy who I have sat for on numerous occasions, and my daughter has three kitties that I have also sat for as well. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand. Your furry family members are just that, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. My schedule: Micanopy, FL (4/14-6/14); Lakewood Ranch, FL (6/23-8/1); Green Valley, AZ (8/5-9/4); Albuquerque, NM (8/8-8/21)...more to post later. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.
About: Owning pets for three decades has been a remarkable journey filled with boundless joy, unconditional love, and a symphony of heartwarming moments. Being a seasoned pet owner for 33 years has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs, quirks, and affections of our furry companions. From the energetic enthusiasm of playful puppies to the wise and gentle purrs of aging cats, I've navigated the ever-evolving landscape of pet care with patience and devotion. Over the years, I've honed my ability to anticipate their needs, ensuring a harmonious and loving environment. With a wealth of experience, I've mastered the art of creating a home that resonates with warmth, comfort, and the delightful chaos that comes with a house full of pets. Through the laughter, occasional mishaps, and countless heart-to-heart moments, I've learned that being a pet owner isn't just a title—it's a commitment to providing a lifetime of love, care, and happiness for our cherished companions. Currently, I have two cats, which means that I am continuously expanding my knowledge about the proper care of animals. I am always wanting more experience! With two cats in my care, I am well-versed in the nuances of animal care, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for them. Additionally, I have experience tending to my friends' dogs, managing their extensive medication routines with diligence and compassion.

Sarah took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent us several check-ins along the way and was especially thoughtful with one of our dogs who gets anxious during thunderstorms. She also left our house neat and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Nederland is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,365 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Nederland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Nederland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Nederland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Nederland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
